There are a lot of names here. The underscore serves to separate 'major' and 'minor' portions of the identifier, while Pascal case is used for wording.
I know that underscores are deprecated by a lot of folks, but they serve a useful purpose for us.

I don't deprecate undescores (actually I use underscores).
In fact, I usually don't deprecate naming conventions at all: yours at first looks a bit strange, but it is more than OK, for me.

Our naming convention is pretty flexible. The documentation for it is a single page.
About the only thing absolutely forbidden is Hungarian notation . The head of the last guy who tried using it is still mounted on a pike outside the castle walls as a warning to others .

Aye, but 'tis a foul thing to sully a name with type information that aren't true or out of date.

What, you mean I have to stop starting string names with "$"?

However, my eye was drawn to the number 811.
In our house 811 has a particular connotation.
Pants and socks left on the floor form the number 811.
Michelle will often say something along the lines of "If you are having a shower I don't want to have a Code 811 emergency" or "Don't leave an 811 for me".

You must drop them with great precision.

Precision doesn't matter. They always form 811.

Well, at least most of the names aspire to greatness, rather than to emulate slimy, disgusting, armoured, sociopathic mass-murderers.

I'm curious about what happens to them when they don't achieve the level of "greatness" that their names say they should.
At a younger age, the names may be cute for their parents, but they may not be really "playground safe".
|
|
|
|
|
I fear other children will laugh at them and they'll have to suffer for the ignorance of their parents...
|

Yeah, it seems that the more you're laughed at and bullied the more likely it is you'll commit suicide.

They'll all transform into Messiahs. Each and every one of them.
... Right after "Messiah" is taken on as the new name for street-gang leaders, if multiple reports about kids with aggrandising names are to be believed.
